Like a lot of punk rockers, cassette tapes ruled my life in the 80’s and early 90’s. I didn’t have a record player and I didn’t get a cd player until a while after they were readily available. I relied on cassettes - be they legitimate releases or dubs of vinyl records or mixtapes or, […]

I vaguely remember the first time I saw the video for Agnostic Front’s Anthem. I wasn’t really into heavy metal that much anymore but I used to religiously watch the late night Mtv shows Headbangers Ball and 120 Minutes and the last hour of both shows would usually have some videos with some of the […]

Well most of us working stiffs here at the FV Ashram have to work today because we work for brutal overlords that hate civil rights. But that does not mean that we do. So at least take a few minutes out of your day to listen to the Good Doctor give his most famous speech […]

When I was in high school my friend Andy’s dad used to tease us about being punk rockers. Unlike getting made fun of by our own parents, this ribbing was OK by us because Andy’s dad was Ben Vaughn and Ben Vaughn already knew about being a punk rocker.He was one - way back in […]

Time Machine time: It’s back in they day and you are hanging out in Trenton at City Gardens wating for Quicksand to play. How do you kill that time in between bands? You could play pinball or try to scam on chicks. Nah! That’s stuff too jock-ish. You need something to read and Norm Arenas’ […]

In 1992 I was 17 years old. I was a straight-edged hardcore kid living in South Jersey. I was part of what was basically a 3 man crew. I was the punk rocker, my friend Thomas was the metalhead and my friend Brett was the hip-hopper. The early 90’s was a crazy time time for […]

Particle accelerators? Mutant corn? Aliens? Depression?! We’re fucked!

I’d be curious to find out if his list has been revised since this was filmed in 2002. If you don’t have time to watch the whole thing, I’d suggest fast-forwarding to the part about asteroids. Also, check out the comments that people left..

So last week I was discussing a particular Anthony Bourdain episode of No Reservations with a friend. It was the one where he visits the Pacific Northwest and discovers food-inspired tattoos, geoducks and…maple-bacon doughnuts. Yes, maple-bacon doughnuts, but this is not what I want to share with you my friends. I introduce to you nature’s […]

So as we wrote last week, we here at the FV Fun Palace got our bloody hands on a couple copies of Bioshock a full week before release thanks to the screw ups at Toys R Us. I’ve been playing the crap out of this game and i’m going to tell you a bit about […]

So I’ve been deciding to get a pair of shades, to help keep the sun out of my eyes but to also look awesome. I saw an ad on a cycling website for oakley and their years of innovation within sporting glasses. Oakley came out on the scene with frogskins.

If you are of a certain age and you were into skateboarding then chances are pretty good that you were a Natas Kaupas fan. I know that I was!

The guys name was sataN spelled backwards. He had a really innovative and sick style. His hair and skate style were weird as […]

When I was a little tyke, one Christmas my parents saw fit to bestow upon me a record player. A real one too. Along with all the requisite Disney albums and other such kiddie fare they periodically supplied me with 45’s and singles of current chart toppers. Your Nena’s “99 Red Ballons” (b/w 99 Luftballons […]

In 1990 I was in 6th grade and my older sister bought Depeche Mode’s Violator. I universally despised nearly everything my sister liked and assumed this wold be no different. I was wrong. I would never admit it, but more than once I snuck into her room to borrow that cassette.
